Mrs. Wellington was wearing a voluminous flannel nightgown when she answered the door. Hamish was glad Mr. Wellington had found God, because it certainly looked as if he would need to wait until he got to heaven to get his reward.
Mrs. Wellington greeted Hamish wearing a large flannel nightgown, immediately setting a cozy yet peculiar scene. Hamish, the protagonist, couldn’t help but reflect on Mr. Wellington's recent religious turnaround, contemplating the irony of his situation.
Hamish felt a sense of relief that Mr. Wellington had turned to faith, yet he humorously mused about the man's prospects for rewards, suggesting that any recognition or fortune might be far-off, perhaps only accessible in the afterlife.
